Chief Constable Ian Hopkins said it was "the most horrific incident" Greater Manchester had ever faced.
He said the "fast-moving investigation" was now working to establish whether the attacker "was acting
alone or as part of a network".
Eyewitnesses described seeing metal nuts and bolts among the debris, and spoke about the fear and
confusion that gripped those caught up in the events.
Andy Holey, who had gone to the arena to pick up his wife and daughter, said: "An explosion went off and
it threw me about 30ft from one set of doors to the other set of doors.
"When I got up I saw bodies lying on the ground. My first thought was to go into the arena to try to find my family.
"I managed to find them eventually and they're OK."
Emma Johnson said she and her husband were at the arena to pick up her children, aged 15 and 17.
"We were stood at the top of the stairs and the glass exploded - it was near to where they were selling
the merchandise," she told BBC Radio Manchester.
"The whole building shook. There was a blast and then a flash of fire afterwards.
There were bodies everywhere."...'
